My colour fix...

Greetings again.  Can you tell that I'm starving for colour...tired of looking outside at white and shades of grey.  What would I do without my copics and paints and pencils, and all those wonderful colours?


Today I have another DT card for Just Inklined, with a beautiful image titled Cherry Blossom.  Doesn't it just speak to you of spring?  I've gone with nice soft colours, using markers and pencil, and then distress inks after masking the image.

Just some simple ribbon detail and a couple of matching buttons for a nice light touch, leaving the image to be the centre of attraction.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and perhaps I brought a spot of colour to your day too!

and now for some challenges for my card:
